M6500 + Intel 310 mSATA: SSD not recognized by BIOS

Hi,



I just installed the 80GB version of Intel's mSATA SSD into the FCM slot*, set up a RAID for my 1st and 2nd HDD in the BIOS, created a RAID0 in Intel's storage manager, rebooted and hoped the new SSD to show up somewhere in the BIOS.



Unfortunately I can't find it. I thought I should find it in /General/System Information/Device Information but I don't.

Can anybody please tell me what is wrong here?



I can think of two things:

1. Either the SSD or my FCM slot is broken.

2. The SSD isn't recognized by my ancient BIOS. Unfortunately upgrading the BIOS means to jump through some ugly hoops in my case so I'd like to avoid it unless it's absolutely necessary.

Am I missing a third point?



*) Yes I was grounded, and the rest of my M6500 works just fine.
